Raise your hand if you want us to lose just to see Rino getting fired.

Why is Musacchio playing again and not Caldara ?

Guess Di Francesco wants to match us man for man. No free players, unless their wingbacks just drop deep and double up on Hakan/Suso, which is what will happen most likely. Calabria and Rodriguez then become the only free players on the pitch. I guess that's the gamble he's making. Too afraid of Suso and Hakan so he's doubling up on them and not worried about our fullbacks so he's letting them be free.

I'm expecting Biglia to drop really deep to maintain a free man at the back and give the defense passing options. A three man backline always has problems with a single attacker and Higuain is an expert at being a nuisance and he'll occupy all three i'm sure.

Weird gamble by Di Francesco. 433 would have been a safer bet.

Been awhile since both Maldini and Totti have been in the same stadium against each other. No longer on field but in the stands. Wonder if they plan to bring em on the field before game starts.

Optimistic for the match somewhat

Roma has looked shaky in their first two games, hopefully Milan can cut out the mistakes made vs Napoli.

I'd say Roma playing 3 at the back is advantageous for Milan but considering the state of the wingers...

He tried exactly the same thing against Liverpool.
They were loosing 5 - 0 by the 50th minute :lol:
When he changed to four at the back they scored two goals a won a rematch 4 -2.

If he plays 3 at the back we will win.

why is this so surprising to some



he wont just become an undisputed starter like that... give the guy time, other than being in a completely new environment hes also got to adjust to playing 4 at the back (has he ever not played in a 3 man back line in Serie a?)



have a good feeling about this game


The guy has played at top top level for two seasons... musacchio hasn’t done enough to be picked ahead of caldara..
I am not buying this “he didn’t play in a 4man defence thing”... let the dude play and let him adapt to our play-style early on.

He's been with us for 3 weeks now... is he a slow learner? Play him ffs! Samu, too.

Leonardo: "If Gattuso doesn't win by a 3 goal margin I will surely sack him. The contract for Conte is ready. No pressure.''

Fuck UEFA
Suso referred to Milan fans as "his people". Did I get that right?

Nzonzi barely joined Roma and he is already in the starting XI. Karsdorp having hardly played coming back from injury in as well. Gattuso scared to start any of the new signings not named Higuain.
